Chapter 93 Statement
"It's just a regular decision made by the company. Why should Harper be upset? What's more, how does the Mitchell Group's project benefit the Martin Group? What's wrong with giving up a less important project for the development of the Martin Group?"
After ending the phone call, Benjamin did not go back to the bedroom immediately but stood on the balcony and lit a cigarette.
He was expressionless and thought of the image of Harper talking to Isaac in the private room. She was unguarded towards Isaac, saying anything in a relaxed state, which was something he had not seen before.
A strong sense of displeasure and irritability surged in his heart. He had a sense of crisis.
They were husband and wife, and as long as they were not divorced, everything about her belonged to him.
But some things were also changing invisibly beyond his control, but Benjamin couldn't describe his feelings.
When Harper woke up the next day, Benjamin was no longer in the bedroom.
After having breakfast at home, Harper set off for the company.
On the way, she received a call from Isaac, who asked, "Are you free tonight? Accompany me to the birthday party of Cole's friend?"
"So you came to Mayby this time to do a favor for Cole?"
"If I had known I should have refused, it wouldn't have bothered me now."
Harper smiled and said, "He should have worked on your social phobia long ago."
"Okay, enough. You'll pick me up tonight and accompany me to my birthday party. I'm going to be ready to go back in a couple days."
"Okay, do I need to prepare anything?"
Isaac thought carefully and said, "No, the gift is already prepared."
After hanging up, Harper remembered that she hadn't told Isaac about the dinner yet. She had already begun to imagine that in the future, when she and Benjamin divorce, Isaac would probably laugh at her for a long time.
After all, he knew she got married not long ago.
Harper shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She sent another message to Benjamin. [Benjamin, I am going to attend a birthday party with Isaac tonight and will go home later.] Benjamin replied: [Okay.]
One word contained many emotions.
Harper frowned slightly and did not reply any further, because the public relations department of the Mitchell Group came.
Harper and Frank received them, and the public relations manager expressed his intention, "The Mitchell Group would like to work with your company. Mr. Jack Mitchell is a great admirer of your company's design style. It is very close to our theme of youthful vitality this time, so would you be interested in working with us on this project?"
Harper's identity was not public. Only a few people knew it, and not everyone in the Mitchell Group employees knew about it.
So at this moment, they didn't know that Harper had a relationship with Mitchell Group.
Harper didn't say anything, but Frank responded, "The Mitchell Group is an old company, we are deeply honored that you can fancy our company. However, our company is currently cooperating with the Martin Group, so we may not be able to work with you. We also need to think carefully about it. If we are understaffed, we may not be able to cooperate with you.
"
"This is understandable, but I hope you can think about it carefully. Besides, Ms. Mitchell, you're also called Mitchell, the same name as our company, and we won't treat you badly."
Harper just smiled slightly. As for whether to cooperate or not, they still needed to think about it.
After seeing off the Mitchell Group's people, Harper asked, "They shouldn't have approached us so soon, right?"
"You don't know yet? The Martin Group has issued a statement saying they will no longer support this project. It is a veiled way of telling everyone that the Martin Group won't work with the Mitchell Group, so other companies and corporations will naturally side with the Martin Group."
The Martin Group was the leading company, and other companies and corporations were terrified to go against it.
Harper was stunned.
Why did Benjamin suddenly target the Mitchell Group?
She immediately turned on her computer and checked the news that Frank had said. It was already ranked number one in the business news.
Harper frowned and asked, "Why so sudden?"
"He didn't reveal it to you?"
"We haven't talked about anything related to work." Harper shook her head, still feeling incredible.
Frank said, "Have you had any conflicts recently?"
"No."
"Is it because he wants to help you vent your anger? After all, he should know that the Mitchell family treats you badly." Frank guessed.
Harper still denied, "We are getting divorced. If it is because the Mitchell family treats me badly, as a husband, he should have started seeking justice for me a long time ago."
So what was it for?
But this was the Martin Group's matter; she couldn't possibly ask about it even if she was Benjamin's wife.
But the Mitchell family wanted to ask.
Jack's blood pressure was high when he got the news early in the morning. He called Benjamin immediately, but Benjamin didn't answer. Finally, he contacted Curtis. Curtis said, "Mr. Jack Mitchell, Mr. Martin is in a meeting now. Please call later if you have any questions."
Jack couldn't contact Benjamin, he could only call Harper.
Harper was not surprised to receive the call, as Frank had mentioned, "Harper, the Mitchell Group's losses are going to be great. I think your father will take the initiative and call you. What are you going to do?"
Before Harper could answer, Jack called.
Before she could say anything after answering the call, Jack asked, "Did you quarrel with Benjamin? Why did the Martin Group suddenly release a misleading message about the breakdown of our relationship, causing the Mitchell Group to fall into trouble? Harper, apologize to Benjamin immediately and ask him to remove the message."
Harper narrowed her eyes slightly. She remained silent throughout the whole process until Jack finished his words.
"Benjamin never told me about the Martin Group affairs, so I don't know. Do you think Benjamin treated the Mitchell Group like this because we quarreled?"
"Isn't it? Harper, you need to control your temper and stop being so stubborn. Since you're married, you shouldn't keep thinking about divorce. It will only bring a lot of trouble to the Mitchell family." Jack's attitude was strong and his words were very harsh.
Harper said expressionlessly, "Benjamin and I did not quarrel. We are very good recently. You can rest assured that he did not send this statement because of me."
"Since it's not because of you, it would be more appropriate for you to come forward and tell him about this matter and call him immediately to resolve this. The Mitchell Group's new project is in the startup phase, and no risks can occur now."
Jack sternly ordered, but Harper never reacted too strongly.
She said, "Dad, I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. Although Benjamin and I are husband and wife, our relationship is non-interference. I don't have any say in the Martin Group, so I can't help you." "What do you mean?"
Jack was very angry, but Harper still persisted.
Harper was indifferent. She didn't have the final say on this matter, so it was useless for Jack to look for her.
Later, Jennifer also called her, and her words were full of dissatisfaction and questions about her. She had long been accustomed to such words and content, so she didn't react much.
But her mood became somewhat depressed.
Even though she was used to her loved ones being indifferent to her, it was hard for her every time.
Frank comforted, "Harper..."
